Furniture Shipping Cost from Rome to Birmingham

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.

Sea freight Full Container (40-foot): For larger moves, a 40-foot container to the UK typically costs $12,000–$15,000, covering both loading and ocean transit. Air freight, Urgent or Smaller Loads: If you need furniture moved by air, costs range from $12,000 to 20,000+, depending on total weight and service speed.
